Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the polycarbonate sheet is clean and free of debris before cutting or shaping. 2. Utilize appropriate cutting tools designed for plastics, such as a fine-tooth saw or CNC router, to achieve precise dimensions. 3. When fastening, employ oversized holes or expansion slots to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction of the material.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ carbide-tipped blades or specialized plastic cutting bits for clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can cause stress cracking.Use washers and allow for expansion by not fully tightening fasteners; consider slotted holes.

Common Applications
